ACCURATE POSITIONS AND FINDING CHARTS OF KNOWN PLANETARY-NEBULAE IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD

We present identifications and accurate positions for about 280 planet ary nebulae (PNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These positions are needed for follow-up ground or space observations. Entire Schmidt plates have been scanned with the MAMA microdensitometer, and PPM sta rs used for the astrometric reduction. The precision achieved is alway s better than 0''.5, and better than 0''.3 for most of the objects not located close to the border of the plates. Photometry in the B band i s provided with an accuracy of about 0.2 magnitude, except in too crow ded zones where the background cannot be determined. Cross-identificat ion with IRAS sources have also been tabulated and discussed.
